I tried id’ing this on Naturalist app, but kept coming up with Black Widow. It has an hourglass shape on the abdomen, but I’ve never seen a Widow with a pattern on its back also.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

Yes, looks to be
a male Widow. Someone should be able to tell you which one
Here's one reasonably similar

 
Thank you
Thanks! I’ve never seen a male before. Seen plenty of females though.
